Barrister

Barrister is a ribbon-cut English mixture in which Cornell & Diehl combines Latakia with Virginia and burley. Named after the courtroom lawyer of English legal tradition, the blend is described by the maker as a rich, layered smoke.

Burley's share is pronounced; it gives the blend a leather, earth, and nut-leaning base along with a peppery spice. Latakia builds the smoky frame, while Virginia carries a measured sweetness in the background. It suits those looking for an unflavored, burley-heavy, smoky mixture.
